Blogging For Profit: (BFP 102)
Do you want to make money blogging? If you do – you’re not alone. More and more bloggers are finding that blogging is a profitable venture. Be it in few extra dollars or making enough money to stop you from getting a part time job or getting it point where they are able to make a full time living from their blogging – there are tens of thousands of bloggers who make money blogging.
what about you?

In this page I want to share some information for beginners on how to make money blogging. For a very quick and broad visual intro – check out this Making Money Blog Mind Map which visualizes just SOME of the ways bloggers make money blogging.
#1 – keep in mind that every blog is unique on how it can make money. Some of the following streams of income will work on someblogs a lot better than others – the key fact is to experiment with as many as possible and see what works best for you.
The following are streams of income.
1. Continuity Programs. This is another newer category for me but one that continues to grow. A continuity program is a site where you earn a recurring income from people who subscribe to a service you offer. For me this includes two sites – ProBlogger.com and ThirdTribe Marketing.

Both programs are membership sites and generate monthly income from the thousands of members that they have as a part of them.
2. Private Ad Sales/Sponsorships Private ad sales directly to advertisers have fallen in the last year. This is partly due to a change in the economy as it is. Note that this area does vary a little from month to month depending upon the campaigns you’re asked to run – we’ve had a couple of months where it actually ranked #2 in the last year. This includes ad sales of the 125 x125 ads as well as a campaign or two at Digital Photography School .
3. Chitika Chitka continues to be a great performer for bloggers. They traditionally have worked best on product related blogs although their Premium ad units now convert well on a larger range of blogs. They do continue to perform well when you use them over and over again.
4. Amazon Associates. Amazon’s affiliate program has been one of the big movers. used to make a few odd dollars from it – how ever in recent times it has become a significant earner.
5. ProBlogger Job Boards The job boards here at ProBlogger continue to grow each month in the number of advertisements that are being bought. This enabled you to invest most of the money that they’d earned a while back into getting a new back end for the boards and to redesign them. These job boards now bring in over $1000 amonth in revenue which is pretty nice considering that they are so low maintenance to run. They also offer a service to readers and add value to the overall blog . The only problem that you can face with the job boards is that there are so many bloggers looking for work that the demand for jobs far exceeds the supply. On the good side of things is that advertisers are reporting getting amazing quality of applications.

Blogging For Profit: (BFP 101)

Many people who blog this days simply want to share their passion about something. But then there are this set of business-minded individuals out there, who have found a way to maximize their blogs to bring in a little extra cash for themself.
If you're interested in this, pls sit back and relax for i will take you through a journey of five strategies that could turn your blog into an ATM MACHINE.
1. Selling advertisment.
This is likely the most common means of leveraging a blog to generate income. If it happens that your blog is well-known, or one that is well-received in a particular niche, it's always possible to sell ad space on your blog. For Big Blogs and services such as Google's AdSense or BlogAds, bloggers can establish ad programs.
AdSense's — which lets you select several ads that are consistent with the content of your blog — pays you based on how many readers click on the ads. it's free to set up.

BlogAds, on the other hand, hooks bloggers up with up coming advertisers and levies a commission in return for any ad placements.
2. Affiliate programs
Here is another click-through opportunity. Affiliate programs enable your blog to serve as a middle man between the readers and product. One of which is http://www.amazon.com If, for instance, you offer book reviews or even just mention a book in passing in your blog , an affiliate program provides a means for your readers to click directly from your blog to Amazon to obtain further information about the book. If they bring out the checkbook or credit card, you get paid as well.
3. Solicit contributions.
Not every blog earnings involves hawking goods or services. Ask for contributions. If, for instance, your small-business blog supports a cause or issue in some fashion —say you repeatedly mention tax reform, health care or some other topic — you can always ask for reader support. Even if you've attracted a group of regular followers who simply enjoy reading what you have to say, they may be willing to underwrite their loyalty with a little financial help. Programs such as PayPal, liberty reserve, payza make it easy to establish a simple on-site contribution collection button.
4. Sell your services in your blog.
Many people associate blogs exclusively with a cyberspace-based soapbox — a place to post your opinions, an ideal place to share your thoughts with others, but don't over look the capacity to generate new business ideas as well. what you may be able to offer to your client or customer who may be reading your blog can spread your opinion and your business motive at the same time. "Instead of short commentaries that begin a dialogue with readers, as many blogs do you could over to do a service or sell your product (e-book).

5. Customer relations.
Not all marketing material inserted in blog content have to be limited to bringing in completely new business. By using a blog to regularly communicate with existing clients as well as other readers, you can take advantage of the opportunity to fully inform them about everything your business does. That may expand your readers' understanding of the full scope of your products or services.

“How do I create the perfect blogpost?”

“How do I create the perfect blogpost?”
A question in the mind of every blogger.

#1 Headline.
Your title is the first thing people see in their blog readers and it may very well determine whether somebody will read your post or not. Headlines can be painful to write — it’s like ads copy. It has to be short and impactful. It like trying to summarize a 300 hundred pages book in a single sentence, it like an action word that grabs attention.
2. Offer an originality (personal view).

The only way to differentiate yourself as a blogger. Is to Challenge yourself to write a post that ONLY you could write. It could be a discovery, a victory, a disappointment. It is unique every time.
3.Beliving in yourself.

When you are creating a work for the world to see, it is frightening to be imperfect. And yet, how can you be original WITHOUT being imperfect? The best bloggers are real. Human, Less cautious than the average author.

4. Don’t just write, re-write. People will spend more time with you if they enjoy your writing. A blogger can’t hit it out of the park every time,but when they do, it’s probably because they found a way to make the words sing. A trick — read your post aloud to see if it has a natural, conversational tone.
5. Entertain me.
“Entertainment value” is not a phrase commonly used in business classes or journalism schools. And yet with the cacophony of voices vying for your attention, isn’t entertainment paramount today? If you create a post with
1) a captivating headline,
2) a unique personal view
3) an entertaining spin taught.
5) words that sing, won’t that be a joy to read? Of course it would be because you’ve crafted a perfect blog post!
What do you enjoy about your favorite blogs and bloggers? I would love to hear about what makes a post memorable for you…

5 key benefits for a successful blog.

5 key benefits for a successful blog.

Blogging was introduced as a space for writing your thoughts;it was much like a diary. But some creative people found something else to do with it.
Blogging has been a revolution since the day it started. Although, like everything, people did not accepted it wholeheartedly but slowly it made its way and today, blogging has made a name for itself. It has become so relevant that many people are living on blogging i.e. their only source of lively hood.
Many have got their stories published in leading newspapers and some had found internal satisfaction. But still, people are unaware of the advantages and benefit attached to blogging.

5 key benefits for a successful blog.

Benefit #1 Money.
Many bloggers do not accept this but they are blogging for money and it’s true that blogging can get you big money, full time job and earning income in 4-6 figures per month(in dollars). And there is nodoubt about the money involved in this profession. But it requires extra hard work and dedication for 1-2 years if you want to be a full time blogger.
Famous.
Well, with money, fame comes automatically. If you are earning more than enough from blogging, which is still considered a part time profession in India, Africa and the USD too, people will surely recognize you. Dollar has great impact on africa and if you are earning it through blogging, you are sure to get noticed. This may also include some local newspaper covering your blogging journey.
Knowledge
Blogging can increase your knowledge base up to a level that is beyond your widest dream. And it just does not include your niche; you gain knowledge about your blogging platform, its usage, the designing and template of the theme and other stuff. I found out about things I had no idea they existed, It now depends on you and your area of interest. But with regular blogging you will get information, ideas, that is for sure.
Socialization.
Blogging considers no boundaries. It does not matter whether you are from India or United States, Australia or Malaysia, Nigeria or Iran, you can get in touch with anyone without any problems. Every blogger is out there to help anyone who needs anything. I have been helped many times by those people whom I had never met. They never asked me for any details about me. We just had interaction through blogs and that was it. Blogging makes you meet lots of people around the world and you can make good friends here, both personally and professionally.
Satisfaction
For a different group of people out there, blogging has been a source of satisfaction. They find blog an easy medium to write or express their grievances. Many people are blogging with some other name but readers do not know who they are. All they need is a blog to write and express thier thought. They don’t want money or fame but just satisfaction.
At The End…
Blogging has been awesome for me on some of the points above and some still needs to be achieved. And I have been working hard to see myself as a satisfied blogger who interacts with everyone, has good knowledge about blog and other small things and earns good money and fame.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?

The scientist and the farmer.

A scientist entered a train going to New york. His cabin also had a poor farmer in it. To pass the time, the scientist decided to play a game with his co-traveler. "i will ask you a question and if you get it wrong, you have to pay me one dollar. Then, you ask me a question, and if i get it wrong, you get 10 dollars. Ask me a question first. " The farmer, after a while asked, "what has three legs, takes 10 hours to climb a palm tree and 10 seconds to desend?" The scientist was confused and for long time, he could not answer the question. Finally, when they came to the station where they were to part, the scientist brought out 10 dollars and gave it to the farmer, saying, honestly, i don't know. But what has three legs, takes 10 hours to climb a palm tree and ten seconds to decend? The farmer after collecting the 10 dollars, replied, " i don't know either. "He then removed one dollar from the money and gave it to the scientist, who felt so bad that the farmer had swindled him.

Your blog and social media.

online blog could be packed with brilliant and useful ideas but it will have no effect if it has an follower.
Two easy and more importantly FREE ways you can promote your blog online.
Automatically publish your blog posts to social media.
Let your social media followers know you have a new blog post by publishing a brief notice and the url on the major social networks like, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. You can post manually to your social networks or you can install some WordPressplugins or Facebook applications that update your networks automatically.
This third party service like Twitterfeed. Twitterfeed uses your blog’s RSS feed to identify new blog posts and then publishes a notice to your networks. You can set it up once for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and then forget it! It does all the work for you!
The second is Pinging
Pinging, in blog terms, is a push mechanic that notifies servers when content has been updated. These servers then publish a list of blogs that have new content. WordPress has a built in Ping feature that will automatically ping services when you publish or edit a blog post.
There are two big issues with the built in ping feature – #1 the default list of ping services is insufficient (a typical WordPress install just has a couple services set up) and #2 we don’t want to ping the services when we edit a post. If we send a ping every time we edit a post (especially if we do it multiple times) we run the risk of being blocked as a spammer. No Good!
I recommend that you install http://www.maxblogpress.com/plugins/mpo/ This plugin prevents WordPress from pinging services when you EDIT a post. It only pings when a new post is published. This will help prevent your blog from being blocked by the various pinging services. Be sure to update your pinglist. Just a quick note – Sometime people worry because their tweets or Facebook posts do not happen instantly. There is usually a small delay between when you publish the post and when the notification appears on the social networks – this is completely normal.
Don’t wait around hoping visitors will find your website and blog – take action and start actively promoting your blogging brilliantly!

newbies affiliate marketing guide 101

Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as 'retailer' or 'brand'), the network (that contains offers for the affiliate to choose from and also takes care of the payments), the publisher (also known as 'the affiliate'), and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third party vendors .
Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC)
Pay-per-call (also called Cost-per-Call ) is a Performance-based advertising model and compensation method . Pay-per-Call is similar to online Pay-per-Click (PPC) advertising. However, with Pay-per-Call instead of paying a fee per Click , the merchant pays the service provider a fee per Call for connecting the consumer to the advertised number. Pay-per-Call advertising was first introduced in the US around September 2004 and registered as a Trade Mark in 2005. Voice-contact is particularly-suited to local businesses, and to high-value and consultative purchases, where customers wish to talk to vendors before committing to buy. Given the high rate of reported click fraud , Pay-per-call is believed to be a better solution to connect potential customers to advertisers.

Online advertising, also known as online advertisement, internet marketing , online marketing or e-marketing, is the marketing and promotion of products or services over the Internet.
Online advertising is a form of promotion that uses the Internet and World Wide Web to deliver marketing messages to larger audience.
Examples of online advertising(google,yahoo) include contextual ads on search engine results pages, banner ads, blogs,(wordpress, blogger) rich media ads, social network advertising (facebook,twitter) interstitial ads , online classified advertising , advertising networks, dynamic banner ads, cross-platform ads and e-mail marketing , including e-mail spam . Many of these types of ads are delivered by an ad server .

E-mail marketing , content marketing and in some sense display advertising . On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.
Affiliate marketing is commonly confused with referral marketing , as both forms of marketing use third parties to drive sales to there tailer. However, both are distinct forms of marketing and the main difference between them is that affiliate marketing relies purely on financial motivations to drive sales while referral marketing relies on trust and personal relationships to drive sales.
Affiliate marketing is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines , e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies. Check out this link and see what am talking about.
